A smile makeover is an advanced, comprehensive approach in aesthetic and restorative dentistry used to transform a patient's smile and achieve a specific, desired outcome. Utilizing a combination of both simple procedures such as teeth whitening to complex ones like dental implants, smile makeovers provide the benefit of a customized approach to improving the appearance of your teeth. Additionally, the benefits of a smile makeover extend beyond just the aesthetics of teeth; it is an excellent option for anyone looking to improve their overall appearance and self-esteem.
What is a Smile Makeover?
A smile makeover is a combination of one or more cosmetic dentistry procedures, such as teeth whitening treatments, veneers, clear aligners, or other appropriate treatments, expertly selected and performed in order to significantly improve the appearance of a person’s smile.
When it comes to cosmetic dentistry to complete a smile makeover, a skilled dentist can use individual or a combination of treatment options to essentially redesign your smile to appear brighter, healthier, more symmetrical, and ultimately more attractive.

Benefits Of A Smile Makeover
The unique value of a smile makeover is the customized approach and treatment plan that transforms a patient’s teeth and smile to match both their functional and aesthetic goals.
In addition to effectively addressing cosmetic and general dental concerns such as crooked, chipped, or stained teeth or a gummy smile, the benefits of a smile makeover include the following:
Improved Oral Health—A smile makeover can address issues such as misalignment or excessive wear, which can lead to serious oral and dental health issues over time.
Improved Oral Hygiene - A smile makeover can inadvertently improve oral hygiene routines. Once a beautiful smile is achieved, many patients tend to prioritize maintenance and good habits to keep their pearly whites healthy and attractive.
Improved Self-Confidence - Cosmetic dentistry treatments help to enhance a patient’s self-image and provide the needed boost to smile more. A smile you feel confident about can help you engage more confidently with people and make positive first impressions, particularly in work and relationships.
Streamlined Treatment—During a smile makeover, the dentist assesses the patient's goals. Then, the dentist plans combinations of services to streamline dental visits so that the patient can more quickly and effectively reach the “finish line” of a beautiful smile.

Who Should Get A Smile Makeover?
How do you know if a smile makeover is right for you? Start by asking yourself some basic questions:
Am I happy with my smile?
Would I change anything about my smile if I could?
Do I have misshapen, misaligned, cracked, chipped, or stained teeth?
Do I want more confidence at work, better relationships and improved self-esteem?
If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, then consider a smile makeover.
